Happy Birthday Braxton!!!

On this day 12 years ago I gave birth to the most beautiful little boy we had ever seen! He was such a pretty little boy. I don't mean that weird...he just had beautiful features. His eyelashes were so long, his skin such an amazing color, and his hands and feet were so cute. He was our first born. My parents first grandson. He was perfect! And now here we are twelve years later. This boy has a heart full of gold. He always puts others before himself. He hardly ever complains. He has broad shoulders and carries a lot on them. He lives by the belief that God comes first, then family, then school, and then sports. He loves giving. He loves when his cousins come over so he can send them home with something special. He has a couple boy cousins that he talks about often and loves to give them advice when they come over. This kid looks up to his dad and grandpa so much. He loves being around people. He loves to smile (even though he doesn't do it much in front of big crowds). He loves playing sports and dreams of playing in the NFL. He once said the first thing he would buy is a limo so the limo driver could pick up his family from the airport and he wouldn't have to!! ha ha. This kid loves his brother with all his heart. Don't mess with that little boy or this big boy will plow you down! He is also very protective of his sisters. His sister that is closest in age with him is truly his best friend. They confide in each other and always have each others backs. This boy likes to take drives and talk about his dreams. He works hard and people love being around him. This boy knows that right now we are struggling and said to us, "All I want for my birthday is my family. I don't need anything. I know you guys work hard and try to give me whatever I want but I just want my family." What a great kid. I could go on and on about this boy. He is turning out to be so AMAZING!! There is a reason he is our first born. So today I say HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAXTON!!! You are one AWESOME kid and we love you dearly!
